Lifeline
|
These devices are attached to a telephone and have the capability of bringing emergency help to people home alone. By pressing a button worn around the neck or wrist, the emergency response unit will automatically call a central answering station that is staffed 7 days a week, 24 hours per day. A trained operator will attempt to contact the client through a speaker in the unit and will summon the appropriate help. |
